Natural Enzyme for Your Cellular Wellness

Catalase is derived from a strain of micro-organism (Aspergillus niger) with high enzymatic activity.

The benefits

Antioxidant Catalases are enzymes that catalyse the conversion of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen, using an iron or manganese co-factor.
Hair & Nails Endogenous catalases act on hydrogen peroxide, which is responsible for hair bleaching.

What is Catalase?

Catalase is a dietary supplement extracted from Aspergillus niger, a fungus known for its enzyme production. This product is designed to provide a natural source of catalase, an enzyme that plays a role in converting hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. This process is vital because hydrogen peroxide, a natural byproduct of cellular metabolism, can be potentially harmful if it accumulates in excess. By catalyzing this reaction, it is possible to maintain a balance within cells, thereby avoiding the accumulation of undesirable substances.

High Concentration Catalase: 100,000 IU/g

Our Catalase stands out with an exceptional concentration, rated at 100,000 IU/g, derived from Aspergillus niger. This natural source guarantees remarkable purity and bioavailability, which is important for proper absorption by the body. Our formula includes carefully selected ingredients for their effectiveness and naturalness:

Natural source: Extracted from Aspergillus niger, ensuring a pure and natural enzyme.
High concentration: With 100,000 IU/g, our product contains a significant amount of enzyme per capsule, ensuring a substantial enzymatic presence.
Gentle spray drying: This process preserves the enzymatic quality of the catalase, ensuring a fine and homogeneous powder.
Microbial fermentation: The catalase is obtained through microbial fermentation, a natural and controlled process that ensures the purity and effectiveness of the enzyme.
Pullulan: Used for the galenic form, pullulan is a natural polymer that allows the creation of vegetable capsules, ensuring controlled release of the enzyme without using gelatin or other animal-derived products.
Rice starch: Acts as a natural excipient, facilitating the absorption of catalase and ensuring excellent digestive tolerance.

The Role of the Enzyme Catalase for Our Health

Research suggests that premature graying of hair and body hair could be linked to a decrease in catalase levels.[1] Without this enzyme, hydrogen peroxide can accumulate, interfering with melanin, the pigment responsible for the color of hair and body hair. Hydrogen peroxide gradually destroys melanin, leading to depigmentation of hair and body hair.[2]

To counteract this phenomenon, several researchers have studied the effect of catalase supplementation. An increase in this enzyme helps to break down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen, thus reducing its destructive impact on melanin.[3]

The activity of catalase is not limited to the pigmentation of hair and body hair. By breaking down hydrogen peroxide, this enzyme plays a role in protecting cells against oxidative damage.[4] Although there are no specific claims, some studies also suggest that catalase could protect and strengthen certain vital organs, such as the heart, by limiting the harmful effects of hydrogen peroxide.[5]

FAQ: Everything You Need to Know About Catalase

What is catalase and why is it important?

Catalase is an enzyme that catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen within our cells. This process is important for the proper functioning of cells. Catalase helps maintain a balanced cellular environment.

Why choose catalase derived from Aspergillus niger?

Aspergillus niger is a fungus known for its ability to produce high-quality enzymes. Catalase extracted from this natural source is pure and has high enzymatic activity, making it particularly effective for supplementation needs.

What ingredients are used in your product?

Our product uses high-quality natural ingredients including the enzyme "catalase." The capsule is made of pullulan, a natural polymer, and rice starch is used as a natural excipient. These ingredients are chosen for their purity and their ability to be easily assimilated by the body.

What is the concentration of catalase in each capsule?

Each capsule of our product contains 250 mg of active catalase, with an enzymatic activity rated at 100,000 IU/g. This high concentration ensures a significant presence of the enzyme per capsule.

Are there specific recommendations for taking this dietary supplement?

It is recommended to take 2 capsules per day with a glass of water, preferably during meals. It is important not to exceed the recommended daily dose and to consult a healthcare professional if taking medications simultaneously.

Catalase: The Cellular Enzyme for Health

Catalase is the ideal choice for those who wish to incorporate a natural enzyme derived from a fungus, Aspergillus niger, highly rated in catalase. Having an increased amount of this endogenous enzyme helps our cells protect themselves from the exposome and external aggressions, such as pollution and contaminants. By breaking down hydrogen peroxide, catalase can help maintain cellular integrity in the face of various environmental stresses.
